It's, it's just a pretty amazing life experience

that I feel like I missed out on being that little

bed-bound ill teenager and now I get to live it and it is absolutely amazing.

If you'd missed any of the weeks, though, you can catch up by

checking the card above, because I made a playlist

of all the videos that were going to make from Malaysia. And Thailand, because we're in Thailand.

This week we're just gonna be in KL again, so we will be showing you a little bit more of the city,

things we're going to do; we're going to a cooking class tomorrow, which I'm just so excited by.

Yeah. I think I'm gonna make that into its own little video though because we're going to make Nasi Lemak, which is

possibly the most famous Malaysian food. It's so good. And it's amazing and last time I was here I couldn't even eat all of it and now I can eat rice.

Major change to my diet.

Ooh, 10 years without carbs. So I'm really excited for that and to show you that.

I'm going to try and make it when we're at home as well because it's so good. I will miss it.

I will really miss the food actually when we're back in England - that I know for sure.

So far this morning we've just had a pretty lazy one, cuddled up in bed watching a film.

Sony sent me the film Breathe which

I was a little bit iffy about, I've been kind of putting off watching it because I thought it was going to be the usual

disability inspiration porn which is actually really sad, and I find really hard to watch.

This sounds terrible but I hate watching films or television shows that involve disabled people.

Not, obviously, because I hate disabled people, that would be weird.

But because I just hate the storylines and the way we're portrayed.

Ugh. I mean, you know what I'm talking about here... I'm pretty sure you know.

We're either the kind of...

Yay, inspirational! Not really a person, though, just here to make the able-bodied people feel good or

Or we're just a sad-sack lump who is angry. You know, disabled people they go two ways and neither way

they're actually having fun.

But, this film: genuinely surprised! I enjoyed it. I thought it was gonna be sad and weepy and

yay inspiration...

But instead no. It was quite a comedy, quite a comedy. I enjoyed it. I have - obviously I cried at the end because

obviously. But I cry at everything. It was really good. So I'm going to do a review of that film.

I say going to, you're watching this on Sunday.

J: It's probably already come out. Claudia (off-screen): It even made me cry.

J: Oh, Claudia would like you to know it even made her cry and that's saying something.

So, there's probably a film review that's already come out... weirdly talking in the past and present and future tense right now.

But yes, watch that, I hope you've watched it. I hope you liked it. Tell me if you liked it. I hope you like it.

C: I look really weird. Look at my blotchy face right now.

J: That's so attractive. What is happening? C: I've been getting some really bad eczema.

J: Yeah, your eczema's been... I would've expected your eczema to get better while we're out here but that's really not been happening.

C: I think it's like the, um...

C: It really doesn't show up so much on camera. J: I don't know, it's the chlorine as well in the pools.

C: I haven't been in the pool that much. I think it's

because we're not using non-bio detergent.

J: Oh, this is the distressing thing so we're [not] using non-bio detergent, but our clothes are coming out so beautifully.

C: I know, they come out very clean. J: They're crisp and the colors stay, they're so clean!

C: Yeah, but then the detergent continues to like eat away at my skin.

J: We only use the good non-bio, eco-friendly baby detergent when we're at home and all of our clothes come out gray and

disgusting like flannel. And we get so sad about it.

C: You either have to choose clean clothes,

white crisp sheets but flaky itchy skin and face, or

help the environment and

J: your body C: and my body

and have slightly gray clothes.

J: I mean it's a tough choice, isn't it really? It's a tough, tough one.

C: It is tough. J: Tough one. Tough one.

[music]

[laughs] Claud likes my hair today.

C: [off-screen] Ooh! Off you go! Speedy!

J: I'm using my crutches because it means I only have to take half the steps.

[music]

Time for the sun shades.

[happy music]

[new, relaxing music]

These are massive!

[happy, relaxing music continues]

[music fades; sounds of bubbling water]

C: Feels a bit like Jurassic Park, doesn't it?

J: You shouldn't really say that, cuz now I'm expecting something to jump out.

C: A squirrel ran across those beans above just now and I was like ahh!

J: [laughs] C: It's a... tyrannosaurus rex!

It was much more lush

when I came when I was a child so it's like... it seems almost slightly neglected

But it might just be because we're here after closing time.

C: It's quite nice actually. J: I'm not sure how we got in.

C: It's empty.

It's cool cuz it's late.

J: It's beautiful.

C: Yeah, and there is still life here.

C: And orchids are notoriously hard to look after. You know in England you need like special greenhouses and

J: And we kill them. We kill every orchid we have. C: Yeah. [chuckles]

It's true. We do, we're pretty bad at it.

I just spray it with water occasionally in hope that it's gonna live, and then it doesn't.

[music; laughing]

There's actually a lot of weird jungle noises, and it's getting quite dark.

C: Gettin' a bit scared. J: They're coming to get you.

Well definitely the midges[?] are coming. Whoops, I've heard some leaves rustling.

J: What? C: I heard some leaves rustling. J: Oh.

J: Glad I live in ignorant bliss without hearing.

[music]

[new, Oriental-sounding music]

There is a frozen yogurt place downstairs. I think it might be the same sugar-free place!

[really peppy music]

[music fades]

Good morning! Today, we're doing something really exciting. [?] I can see a man

What is happening? Okay. We're doing something really exciting because we're going to learn--

What we? *I'm* going to learn how to make Nasi Lemak which is basically the dish of Malaysia.

Is that fair to say? Claud's nodding.

And last time I was here I couldn't eat it. Now I can eat

most of the things on it, I think. So I'm really excited to know.

And look who's here!

Ruth Ann: Hi! J: This is Ruth Ann and she's been my sign language interpreter for the last nine years, and she's in Malaysia!

R: It's nice work. It's nice work. J: I know.

J: And this is Myda[?].

M: Hi!

Myda's her daughter

She's uncommonly tall.

J: How old are you now? M: Fourteen.

J: Is there more growing that's gonna happen? M: Probably

J: This is close, this is very close. R: It's close.

R: Give her a month. J: It's two inches, I'd say.

[music]

Jen: The roof - not of the train, of the LRT station [?]. Jess: Oh my God. Jen: Yeah.

Jen: So it's been-- it's been like this. Yeah. For a while.

Jen: So our plants fell. C: Yeah, yeah. Jen: And we have to you know kind of like..

C: Tidy it up. Jen: Yeah, tidy it up.

[music]

[thunder]

So we made some absolutely amazing Nasi Lemak and then the heavens opened

and then we sat in the library here using the Wi-Fi

to upload four videos and it took

three hours.

Three hours.

I think Claudia's eyes have gone square.

She's not a happy bunny. [To Claudia] It's okay. It's alright.

It's alright.

We're gonna go out to dinner now, and then [excitedly] we're gonna go watch Black Panther!

C: Woo! J: Ahh!

Which is very were wearing our Marvel t-shirts. Again, one of three hundred!

C: I was like-- oh! J: Sorry, I hit you.

C: I said, I'm only gonna--

You and I-- after the three hours of-- (I can't even talk after this.) After the three hours of

very slow upload speeds back to England for Clara to help edit some of the stuff we've been doing.

C: Where was I even going with this? J: [laughs]

Oh, yeah, Jessy was like "Oh" and I was like "So we're going to the cinema now, yeah yeah?"

She's like "I dunno, I'm pretty tired now."

I'm like

[whispers] no.

[Jessica laughs]

Don't do that to me! I didn't sit in this room for three hours

watching a screen telling me it was 21 minutes... 36 minutes...

23 minutes... 51 minutes!

[laughs] Like... constantly!

for you to just say "Okay, that was your entertainment for the night, dear."

[Jessica laughs]

I said "No, we're going to see Black Panther, dammit!"

Yeah!

J: This is mine

C: Very nice!

J: I like it.

J: See, that looks kind of retro, no? I like it as well because it looks like some kind of varsity [fades into music]

Yeah, let's leave this room so we look back [?]

We're wandering around

cuz I can't find this thing, the thing I want to eat. But plus side it does mean by the time we get to our food

we've really worked up an appetite.

C: You're not normally fussy, but I think you're just tired, can't make a decision. J: Yeah, when I get tired. I can't decide food I'm like

J: Ughhhh... I'm too tired, like I'm past the point of eating. C: Whereas I really want a burger, but I'm flexible.

[music]

C: Jessica is very happy with her essentials.

J: This is my dinner tonight.

C: Coleslaw, sweet potato fries.

J: What more do you need in life, really?

C: We're at the cinema! J: Think it's pretty obvious which we've film we've come to see.

C: The girls at the counter thing will be like "Black Panther?"

J: Could it be... Black Panther?

C: We're not even wearing Black Panther t-shirts.

J: What?

C: We're not even wearing Black Panther t-shirts.

J: Yeah, but we're representing, you know? C: Yeah, yeah.

J: We should get a black mar-- a Black Panther t-shirt!

[music]

C: We were like, "Hey, we're going to see the Marvel film!"

They were like, "Yeah we can do that."

We sat right in the front.

C: We were so ready. J: So ready for this film! C: It was quite a long film and yet I feel like

it wasn't long enough.

J: I don't think that it did justice to

Wonder Woman, to Diana herself. C: No.

J: You sai-- C: The CGI. J: I know, you said that coming out and I was like

remember Thor: Ragnarok? Which you LOVED?

C: I know, but I think maybe the point is like...

J: Yeah, however, not just to bring it back to Thor again, but C: Yeah, they have it in Thor!

J: ...at the beginning of the second Thor... C: Why do you keep bringing it back to Thor? J: Because!

J: ...she chooses to see the best in everything C: This is the Black Panther review J: This is Black Panther but still...

J: ...that's why I'm making this connection here, people. There's a reason. C: Ahh.

J: No one ever agrees with our Thor opinions

In other, water-related news that does not involve men beating each other up.

C: Oh, okay, I was like, what water-related news? J: That was an easy segue.

J: That was easy I did not make it C: Segue? J: Yeah.

C: Is that what I thought it was? Why are they called segways? J: Yeah I think so.

C: It's like a transit vehicle.

J: Do do do do dooo... C: They have those in the malls and I was like, "Can we rent those?" and they were like "No, that's for staff only."

C: I was just like... J: Unfair. Think we should rent some...

C: We have hired a few wheelchairs though. You give them some ID, sometimes they ask for deposit. Actually most of the time they ask for a deposit, don't they?

J: Yeah C: You got to bring it back by a certain time.

J: I don't-- yeah, I don't like it so much because I'm so used to my own wheelchair

which is custom-made for me and is super light and has an incredibly small turning circle

and I can move easily on my own.

C: Yeah J: These ones are hu-- like really clunky. They're very clunky

C: Yeah, but that's the difference of bringing your own wheelchair and hiring. At least there's some that you can hire.

J: Oh no, I mean yeah, I'm sorry. C: And they're not just the push ones, you can't use-- you know you can-- J: Yeah

J: You can wield them yourself. You just need to be a bit stronger than me. C: Yeah and if you're not that strong

they actually do have the motorized ones so you can rent them as well. J: Yeah, that's true, and I did bring my own cruches so

can't complain there. Back to water.

We got a note put through our door that says there's gonna be no water for three days.
